Aden v0.2.0: Interactive Offline Graph GUI + Git History Replay + Benchmarks Hey r/ArtificialInteligence (crossposting to r/ClaudeCode , r/aiagents , etc.), Just over a week ago I introduced Aden — the referential context compiler that turns messy codebases into a typed, queryable knowledge graph for humans and AI agents. v0.2.0 is out, headlined by aden view — and backed by actual numbers. The Star: aden view — Fully Offline Interactive Knowledge Graph Aden’s whole codebase graphed. Run aden view → instantly opens a self-contained HTML file (works offline from file://, no server/CDN): Force-directed graph with real-time physics Automatic community detection + subsystem coloring Git-history replay (default): Watch your codebase build itself commit-by-commit — nodes appear and light up exactly as they were added Density/depth sliders, edge filters, search, zoom, blast-radius highlights Synapse mode (press ‘b’): Animates active paths like a living neural net Click nodes to open in VS Code/Cursor/Zed/JetBrains I pointed it at Aden itself and it immediately revealed (and helped fix) real issues like a massive vendored mod-unknown hub and 706 redundant Documents edges. The graph doesn’t just look good — it audits the system. Benchmarks Hybrid retrieval (graph-aware + dense embeddings) vs plain BM25 across real repos: Hybrid beats or matches BM25 everywhere, with biggest gains where lexical search struggles. All outputs are now fully deterministic. Other v0.2.0 Highlights Reproducible retrieval and deterministic outputs Refined edge model (9 live types: Calls, Uses, PartOf, Contains, Documents, RelatesTo, Tests, Implements, Mutates) aden viz for static Mermaid/DOT/JSON/AsciiDoc exports Security hardening, minified asset ignoring, and more polish Still AGPL-3.0, tree-sitter powered (300+ languages), fully local Repo: https://github.com/RioPlay/aden Blog (highly recommended): The Graph That Audited Itself Six Live Edges Introducing Aden Quick start: ./install.sh cd your-project aden gen . --auto aden view # try this first! https://preview.redd.it/h25gaaix7e6h1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=789a1c5346c2a215127f96d526f461cb6c36d7e3 Dogfooding on Aden itself turned the viz into a core diagnostic tool. What do you think? How do you currently map/explore large or legacy codebases? Would interactive graphs + history replay + these benchmarks help? Tried it? What worked, broke, or is still missing? Roast the code, suggest features, or share results from your repos. Feedback from the first post drove this release. Let’s make context engineering reliable and visual.
